I just finished rereading the book for about the 100th times yesterday, and again, as soon as I closed the cover, I drove to the store and maxed out my credit card on Jell-o Pudding Pops.
Could if be that reading EG somehow conditions you to liking Pudding Pops, and fill you with tendencies to procure them regardless of cost?Whether Card and Cosby are somehow in cahoots, I've yet to determine.

I thoguht Jell-o Didn't make Pudding Pops anymore. I have been looking for them for atleast 2 years. Maybe just not in this area.

If I were going to put subliminal message in Ender's Game, it would be to encourage people to buy and consume products that I use myself, so that they will continue to manufacture them. Pudding Pops are not on that list.
I think those subliminal messages came from aliens talking to you through your fillings, not from my book.

I think the subliminal message I found from the book is buy more Orson Scott Card books because the strangest thing happened after I read Ender's Game my bookshelf filled up with not only one copy of some of his books but 2 or three copies!

I wonder if readers of Wyrms suddenly find themselves wanting to determine the purpose of dividing houses and buildings into rooms.
Or if the readers of another novel of mine are looking for the children of a woman named Gicstreet.
Or if readers of another book are trying to figure out how to stop someone named Ershad from feeling more pain.
And to end all speculation on the subject, there is no such person as "St. Meetings"; nor was a fir tree ever named after him. Nor do I think that mirrors are a sin committed by a map.

Mr. Card, I think you may have just referenced the complete collection of books by you that I havn't read. I don't have Wyrms (yet), and I don't recognize references 2 or 3. I assume from the last part of 4 that it's one of the short stories from Maps in a Mirror that I have yet to get to. Can somebody enlighten me?
